Will rubbed my back as he cradled me in his arms, causing me to fall asleep.

I dreamed of Eric doing things to me and to Will. I also had flashbacks from Tartarus, which didn't make the situation any better.

I woke up, cheeks wet with tears and I was screaming. Will was nowhere to be found and I couldn't calm down.

Now I was hyperventilating and rocking back and forth with my knees up to my chest.

Finally, Will walked in the front door. When be saw me, he rushed over to me and immediatly pulled me onto his lap.

Will whispered sweet nothings into my ear and he stroked my hair.

Within ten minutes, My breathing had returned to normal, my mind ceased to race, and I had completely stopped crying.

Will was twirling my hair inbetween his fingers now. Out of nowhere Will said, "I'm sorry I wasn't here when you woke up. You see, I was talking to Reyna about getting Eric banned from Camp Jupiter and she agreed. Now you don't have to deal with him at all."

I turned my adjusted myself and turned my head so my eyes were level with Will's, then I kissed him soft and slow.

Will broke off the kiss, surprised that I had pressed my lips to his. He exclaimed, "Nico, I thought you were mad at me." I replied, being dead serious, "I could never be mad at you, Sunshine."

Will smiled at me, "Not even if I didn't kiss you for a whole day?" I laughed, "Don't push your luck Solace." Will grinned at me, "I don't go by Solace, I go by Sunshine." I looked him in the eyes, annoyed, "Don't push your luck, Sunshine."

Wi- Sunshine, looked over at me and let out an accomplished sigh, "That's more like it, Death Boy." I cringed at the use of my nick name, "No, call me Ghost King." Will laughed, "No, you're my Death Boy, not my Ghost King."

I let out a sound of exasperation, "How come I have to call you Sunshine, but you don't have to call me Ghost King?" Will thought for a moment, "Because I'm the man in this relationship."

That statement sent me into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, "You can't even pick flowers without feeling remorse, because they die." Will furrowed his brow, "They were once satyrs."

I kissed Will on the forehead, "Fine, if ot makes you happy you can be the man in our relationship." Will let out a sound of joy and said, "Who's soft now? Huh? You are!"

I blushed, "No, I just... Care about your feelings." Will laughed, "Nico, that's what being soft is. Caring about other people's feelings."

I clutched my heart, "The love has gotten to me, I can feel my dark heart about to explode." I closed my eyes and stuck my tongue out.

Will kissed my cheek and said, "Good bye my dear, I will truly miss you. Pass on to Elysium and tell your father I am not far behind you."

I opened my eyes and said, "Nah, nevermind. I'm good."

It's just like me to ruin a dramatic moment like that.
